MailScanner - fraud detection - turning it off

Hi there!
In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf we have changed: Find Phishing Fraud from yes to and then did service restart MailScanner, but Efa still makes "Fraud inspection"
EXAMPLE: MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "
www.google.si" claiming to be
www.facebook.com
Was that not the right place to turn off that inspection?
Please help.
With best regards

Another thing, if I change also this settings in MailScanner.conf:
(from yes to no): Highlight Phishing Fraud = no
it does not reflect, because it's still higlights it, even after doing service mailscanner restart.
strange.

service mailscanner reload also does not change this behavour, hm ran out of ideas...
We are on latest 3.0.2.3 version. Is it a bug?

Hi swaniverson.
1st of all thank you for your reply.
I had that setting "Use Stricer Phishing Net" already set on NO.
I have just figured out where I had made "a noobish mistake".
Before editing /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf I made a dumb copy:
cp /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner-backup.conf
I guess Efa took MailScanner-backup.conf for "working version" no matter what changes did I do to /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf.
After I have ran command mv MailScanner-backup.conf MailScanner-backup-conf.old and restarted mailscanner service it worked!
So it was a classic lack of Linux knowledge with renaming files in the correct way
